A strategic national asset requires development to generate revenue for the nation.

Madam Grace Obeng-Donkor, Nkoranza North District Chief Executive has appealed to Ministry of Tourism and Diasporan Relations to develop the Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary and the ancient Bono-Manso Slave Trade Centre in Brong-Ahafo Region into first class tourism attraction sites to generate substantial income.

She made the appeal when addressing a durbar of chiefs and people of Bono-Manso to mark this year's Emancipation Day at Martin Luther King Junior Village at Bono-Manso.

Madam Obeng-Donkor pointed out that Government recognised tourism as a sector with immense potentials to create jobs and generate revenue therefore, there was the need to develop these two important tourist sites which had gained international recognition.

“Nkoranza North District recently created has many teething problems with regard to revenue generation and development of the sites would enhance its fortunes,” Madam Obeng-Donkor said.

She noted that even though celebration of Emancipation Day brought memory of bitter experiences, it was prudent for all Ghanaians to forge ahead in unity for socio-economic development.

Mr Adu Acheampong, Chairman of Publicity Committee of Ministry of Tourism and Diasporan Relations expressed concern about some parents who subjected their children to human rights abuses and denied them basic education.

He said sex abuse among the youth and child trafficking leading to mental slavery should not be tolerated.

Mr Rabbi Kohain Halevi, Executive Secretary of PANAFEST called on Africans to be mancipated from issues that made them feel inferior to other people and stressed the need for the youth to offer selfless and dedicated services towards accelerated national development.
